A Comprehensive Approach to Meat Product Packaging Testing - 1

Labthink Instruments Co., Ltd. info@labthink.com +86-531-85068566 Packaging Testing Ensuring the quality and safety of meat products is paramount in the food industry. Packaging plays a crucial role in preserving product integrity and extending shelf life. This article explores two case studies involving meat product packaging issues and highlights the importance of comprehensive testing to identify underlying causes and develop effective solutions. Case Study 1: Ready-to-Eat Chicken The first case involved ready-to-eat chicken packaged in aluminum composite material. Bag inflation and mildew were observed, indicating compromised barrier properties, flex durability, and seal strength. Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR): This test measures the rate at which oxygen permeates the packaging material, affecting product oxidation and spoilage. OTR after Flex: This test evaluates the impact of flexing the packaging on its barrier properties, which is important for handling and transportation. 1

Labthink Instruments Co., Ltd. info@labthink.com +86-531-85068566 Labthink C660B Leak and Seal Strength Tester is professionally designed for the leakage tests of packages for food, drugs, medical instruments, household chemical products, cars, electronic components, stationeries and other industrial products. The instrument also can be used to test seal performance of specimens after falling and compression tests The results indicated good heat-seal strength but poor flex durability and barrier properties. Flexing the packaging caused pinholes to appear and increased OTR. Additionally, the...

Labthink Instruments Co., Ltd. info@labthink.com +86-531-85068566 Pendulum Impact Test: This test measures the packaging material's resistance to impact, which is crucial for preventing punctures and tears. Breaking Force and Elongation at Break: These tests evaluate the material's tensile strength and flexibility, respectively. The results revealed that the packaging film's resistance to pendulum impact was lower than the industry average, indicating high brittleness. Additionally, the low elongation at break, particularly in the horizontal direction, suggested poor flex durability....
